High school is hard enough without falling for your worst enemy. Jonah Collins and Dylan Ramírez hate each other. Jonah views Dylan as a spoiled, arrogant golden boy, whilst Dylan has Jonah labelled as an attention-seeking show-off who never shuts his mouth. Their friends are convinced Jonah's and Dylan's mutual disdain is just thinly veiled lust - a rumour that surges like wildfire when the two wake up in one bed after homecoming. Horrified, the pair agree to use the faux pas to their advantage: they decide to keep up the fake dating ruse, then end their 'relationship' in a massive staged fight, proving their incompatibility once and for all. But the more time they spend together, the more they begin to question their true feelings. Could there be a fine line between love and hate after all? *** A heartfelt and hilarious coming-of-age romcom for fans of HEARTSTOPPER, Casey McQuiston and Adam Silvera!

They Hate Each Other

Jonah and Dylan get along like oil and water. Until a fake dating ploy gives them new perspective, and they realize that "falling for your enemy" isn't as impossible as it seems. There are plenty of words Jonah Collins could use to describe Dylan Ramírez. "Arrogant," "spoiled," and "golden boy" to name a few. Likewise, Dylan thinks he has Jonah accurately labeled as an attention-seeking asshat who never shuts his filthy mouth. Their friends are convinced Jonah's and Dylan's disdain for one another is just thinly veiled lust--a rumor that surges like wildfire when the two wake up in one bed after homecoming. Mutually horrified, Dylan and Jonah agree to use the faux pas to their advantage by fake dating. If they can stay convincing long enough to end their "relationship" in a massive staged fight, they can prove their incompatibility to their friends once and for all. But the more time they spend together, the more their plan begins to fall apart--and the closer they come to seeing each other clearly for the first time.

“But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you
Not even close
Not even a little bit
Not even at all” — ttihay. 

thank you to viking books for young readers and penguin teen for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

i know this has and will continue to be marketed as a enemies-to-lovers who fake date romance. but really, it’s so much more. it’s about two grumpy(ish?), bisexual teen boys, figuring their way out in a world that’s been more than a bit unkind to them. it’s about them growing beyond, developing their support groups, and also happening to find love along the way.

if it wasn’t already obvious, i adore this book. i adore dylan and jonah, their friends, their families, found and sometimes biological too. i'm beyond invested in these two himbos, who for some reason think that fake dating to eventually break up to prove a point to your friends is the best option for your love life. honestly, they share a single (often angry) braincell and it’s totally, absolutely, iconic of them.

like i mentioned, this book is about a lot more than just their fake dating ploy, it’s about their respective traumas and working through it together and apart. while, of course there are a lot of moments that will make you genuinely laugh out loud, this book will pull even more delicately at your heartstrings. and god, do your best to prepare because, oh boy, oh man, will you want to reach into these pages and give these boys the biggest bone-crushing hug.

anyways, i think i’m genuinely at a loss for any more words, or maybe that’s jet-lag brain after zooming through the latter half of this book on a plane. BUT, what i can say is that i cannot believe that this is just a debut. and i cannot wait for woody’s next release. okay, yeah that’s all my brain can currently handle apparently. i love this book. please consider reading it…

but also, as with all books, but especially with this book, please check a detailed list of content warnings before deciding to read this one if you’re worried. as much as i praise this book for handling the delicate subject matters well, i want everyone to stay safe first and foremost.
